Wilberforce, which has not before, he thinks,
been printed. The Bishop was riding in one of
the old.fashoned broad gauge railway carriages
and was seated at one end of it, when he heard
a truculent voice at the other end exclam: i

lord, can you tell plain man plain way to get

nothing is more easy, you have only to turn at

"a WOMAN thus writes to the Fort Worth
(Tex.) Gazette: ''My homeless friend, you say
you have for years longed for the free, indie
pendent life of the farmer, but have never been
able to get enough of money together to buy
farm. But that is just where you are mistaken.
For several years you have been drinking good
improved farm at the rate of 100 square feet
gulp. Figure it out yourself. An acre of land
contains 43, $50 square feet. Estimating land at
SAB 80 per acre. you will see that is just mill
per square foot and 1c for ten square feet. Now,
pour down the fiery dose and imagine you are
swallowing a strawberry patch. Call in five of
your friends and have them help you gulp down
a 500-foot garden. Get ON prolonged spree and
see how long it requires to swallow pasture
large enough to feed q cow-20 cows"
CONSIDERATION was caused in Louisville
household on several occasions lately by unac-
countable sounds, which, it was noticed were
only heard after all lights had been extinguished
An attempt to fix the locality whence they came
was made successfully, and clue found that
warranted the setting of a mouse trap. Shortly
after a click was heard and, the COurier-Journdt
says, on examining the trap small gray mouse
was found a prisoner. In the dark, for many
hours thereafter, the little rodent whistled and
sang. This was the cause of all the mystery,
and when the mouse was examined a curious
fOuOd head terribly
formed, the eyes being where the mouth should
be and the mouth between the front legs. The
strange noise is made by the animal in forcing
air in breathing from the lungs through the
ears, that being the only outlet"
In Hartford, say local papers, several promi-
nent physicians have been investigating the
new French treatment of consumption by the
injection of sulphurretted hydrogen gas. In
fact, experiments were made by DR.. johnson, of
this city, somewhat earlier than those at the
Philadelphia hospital. The experiments have
been continued, principally at the free diSpen-
sary, by Drs. johnson and Root, the former hav-
ing devised an apparatus for making and ad-
mnstering the gas, from descriptions given Of
the French method. Several patients have been
under treatment and with encouraging results.
The physicians above named said that, while
they had every reason to be satisfied with ube
results, they did not feel like heralding the
treatment as a sure cure. Their patients have
been under treatment only two or three months,
and. before speaking positively as to the efficacy
of the work, treatment should be continued
much longer-perhaps year"
A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Waterman
pictures the perils of American students in Ger
many. ''When it is known he writes, upon
what waves Of unbelief the student in a German
university is compelled to ride, what tides of
ratiOnalisn he must stem. ana what pillows Of
positive ntidelity he is to encounter it behooves

as a theological student, and had so rapidly
fallen to this state of inddelity. 1t is rather u
difficult problem, sometimes to tell the causes
that lead TO these results. A friend of mine
suggested that il really seemed as if many
young men had borrowed their religion from
their friends at home, and never had any of
their own"
MARRIAGE receives scarcely more attention
among the Turks than birth and death, says

but little embarrassment from the admiljstra-
